No Fear of Flying

Saturday afternoon, an unusual flight took off from Miami bound for Cancun, Mexico. Once the jet reached cruising altitude, all the passengers took off their seat belts – and all their clothes. The nude flight was the start of a clothing-optional getaway to Nude Week at Cancun's El Dorado Resort and Spa. "These are professionals who lead very stressful lives and are ready to let it all go," said a co-owner of the travel agency that booked the flight. "They don't even want clothes as a constraint." And on the other coast on Friday night, more than 100 men and women gathered in San Francisco for a public "Masturbate-a-Thon." Organizers bill the event as an opportunity for participants to overcome their inhibitions in "a safe environment" and raise money for charity. Are Americans going to such great lengths just to distract themselves from the news?
